Introduction Malignant bowel obstruction is a distressing complication of cancer, causing pain, nausea and vomiting, and often has a poor prognosis. Severe and rapidly developing symptoms, a lack of robust clinical guidelines and the need for multidi...

Thrombosis Research, 228, 54-60. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.thromres.2023.05.008

BACKGROUND: Even though antithrombotic therapy has probably little or even negative effects on the well-being of people with cancer during their last year of life, deprescribing antithrombotic therapy at the end of life is rare in practice. It is oft...

Implementation of geriatric assessment in oncology settings: A systematic realist review (2020)
Journal Article

Older adults with cancer are more likely to have worse clinical outcomes than their younger counterparts, and shared decision-making can be difficult, due to both complexity from adverse ageing and under-representation in clinical trials. Geriatric a... Read More about Implementation of geriatric assessment in oncology settings: A systematic realist review.
